MAIT cells and the microbiome. [PDF]

Front Immunol, 2023
Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes, strikingly enriched at mucosal surfaces and characterized by a semi-invariant αβ T cell receptor (TCR) recognizing microbial derived intermediates of riboflavin synthesis presented by the MHC-Ib molecule MR1.

MAIT Cell Activation and Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are striking in their abundance and their strict conservation across 150 million years of mammalian evolution, implying they must fulfill critical immunological function(s). MAIT cells are defined by their expression of a semi-invariant αβ TCR which recognizes biosynthetic derivatives of riboflavin synthesis ...

Low mucosal-associated invariant T-cell number in peripheral blood of patients with immune thrombocytopenia and their response to prednisolone. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells help protect against certain infections and are related to some autoimmune diseases. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a relatively rare hematological autoimmune disease associated with low platelet count.

Identification and Phenotype of MAIT Cells in Cattle and Their Response to Bacterial Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a population of innate-like T cells that utilize a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) α chain and are restricted by the highly conserved antigen presenting molecule MR1.

MAIT cells regulate NK cell-mediated tumor immunity [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
Abstract The function of MR1-restricted mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in tumor immunity is unclear. Here we show that MAIT cell-deficient mice have enhanced NK cell-dependent control of metastatic B16F10 tumor growth relative to control mice.

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling of MAIT Cells in Patients With COVID-19

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundMucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are considered to participate of the host immune response against acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection; however, single-cell transcriptomic profiling of MAIT ...

Mouse models illuminate MAIT cell biology

Molecular Immunology, 2021
The field of mucosal-associated invariant T cell (MAIT) biology has grown rapidly since the identification of the vitamin-B-based antigens recognised by these specialised T cells. Over the past few years, our understanding of the complexities of MAIT cell function has developed, as they find their place among the other better known cells of the immune ...

MAIT cells protect against sterile lung injury. [PDF]

Cell Rep
AbstractMucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, the most abundant unconventional T cells in the lung, have been recently linked to tissue protection and repair. Their role, especially in sterile lung injury, is unknown. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spectral analysis and adoptive transfer in a bleomycin-induced sterile lung injury,

Alcohol Abstinence Does Not Fully Reverse Abnormalities of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in the Blood of Patients With Alcoholic Hepatitis [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVES: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) develops in approximately 30% of chronic heavy drinkers. The immune system of patients with AH is hyperactivated, yet ineffective against infectious diseases.
